Police seek four men wanted in Leominster home invasion

LEOMINSTER 
Four men wanted in connection with a home invasion and pistol-whipping that occurred shortly after midnight Wednesday are still at-large.

Police Sgt. Ryan D. Malatos said the suspects forced their way into the first floor apartment at 183 Fifth St. after one of three men inside answered their knock on the door.

One of the suspects then pistol-whipped an 18-year-old's face with a black handgun with a silver tip, he said. The men also stole an Xbox 360 video console and a small safe containing personal items, he said.

The 18-year-old was treated at a local hospital for injuries to his face and released, police said. “(The victim) said everything happened so fast,” Sgt. Malatos said. “He described all the individuals as masked and wearing black clothing — approximately 6-foot tall males.”He said the victim said he did not know the suspects.
